He returned with a vengeance against Stann and has been relentless in his pursuit of Silva.

“As far as I’m concerned, that belt is worth nothing more than a piece of tin when it’s around (Silva’s) waist,” said Sonnen.

It’s comments like this, and numerous other examples, that have UFC president Dana White on the verge of making a rematch between the two a reality.

“I am meeting with (Anderson’s camp on Saturday),” White told reporters at Thursday’s UFC 137 pre-fight press conference. “You know Chael’s position. And I think Anderson’s position is really the same as Chael’s. Anderson’s really pissed off about the stuff that Chael has said.”

After defeating Stann, Sonnen declared, “In some parallel universe, you can hit a man 300 times and he wraps his legs around your head for eight seconds and they call him the winner. On the s

treets of Westland, Ore., that is not the rules. I am the middleweight champion.”

With that, Sonnen lobbied for a Super Bowl weekend showdown with Silva.

The fight hasn’t been inked just yet, and Silva’s manager, Ed Soares, has been vocal in his belief that Sonnen isn’t deserving of a rematch.

When asked if it was likely the fight could get put together for Super Bowl weekend, White responded, “I think it would make sense, yeah.”

White sounds as if the fight is more than likely to happen, but will surely have more to say on the matter after Saturday’s meeting with Silva’s camp. A recent question on our MMAWeekly.com Facebook page was overwhelming in backing that the majority of you want to see Silva vs. Sonnen II.
